Answer:

n>1

Explanation:

Given

Statement: 4x n is greater than 4

Required

Value of n

First we need to rewrite the statement in algebraic form;

Product 4 * n is represented by 4n

greater than 4 is represented by > 4

Bringing these two together, it gives the following

Divide through by 4

We've arrive at solution;
